Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

    I got an e-mail from a media company this week with some headline about how gangnam style represents a revolution in social media. I wish I got paid to write bullshit like that.

    ETA: Gangnam style, the video/dance/viral thing, that is.

    And if you think that’s stupid, check out the straight-to-dvd “Abraham Lincoln: Zombie Hunter” on Netflix instant.

    That first song sounds just like every song I’ve ever heard in every Twin Cities gay bar for the last 20 years.

    This reminds me of when I went to India. We were in our room watching this Bollywood movie and it was so funny cause I really had no idea what they were saying, I believe they were speaking Punjabi, but in the middle of this fluent Punjabi they’d say these American slang words. So it’d be something like “…….(punjabi words)…..Radical man….(more punjabi words)….”. I followed along for a bit thanks to the over the top acting style and my friend and I would dub it with our own voices and storyline.

    I was silly but fun.

    I bought Psy’s whole album, which doesn’t include Gangnam Style. Including Blue Frog and more.

    It’s great. Don’t understand a word. But it’s damn good music.

    Posted this in the last thread, but my hope is that this pic becomes viral so it can last through the weekend. It’s been floating around since early evening, but the buzzfeed boys just “dumped” it at about 9:30 to 10:00 so it will probably be overlooked.

    My goal is to tweet it to as many people as I and try my best in my own little way to help it along it’s viral way. I know I’m Black and racism is a way of life that I’ve lived with all of my 35 years, but I can honestly say that I never really thought (or maybe I really hoped) that race wasn’t a “real” guiding factor against Obama, but damn if I can come up with a good enough explanation for what’s going on. I just can’t for the life of me believe that 1 debate was all it took for Obama’s “soft” support to waver. It’s just got to be other factors too.

    Sure the KKK and white supremacist are for Romney/Ryan, but man I hope I’m wrong and race is the least of the factors. But there is no way to really know, it’s not like the conservs I know are blatant to me with their racism, heck for all I know they could be, as the O’Jays said, “smiling in my face…backstabbers”

    Anyway, I think I’ve been up to long. Good night guys.

    So only 20% of Americans think they’re in the 47%… which means 27% are completely deluded about their position in society.

    Isn’t that a curious coincidence? Seems like I heard that number somewhere before.

    That Whitesnake link is fuXX0r3d, so here’s a folkie version by an up and comer. She played at my house a couple of years ago, and is now recording in LA. If anyone ever saw the documentary about Paul Green’s Rock School – School of Rock was based on it – she’s the girl who sang Zomby Woof at the Zappanale in Germany at the end of the movie. She was known as “the Voice” at Berklee.

They’ll rally to his cause, he’ll be named joe the skinhead, get listed as one of the 100 most intriguing people of 2012, and well end up four years later still reading about him from time to time as he runs for congress. Let’s just keep this to ourselves. Romney is the one were concerned with, not some attention seeking dumb fuck.
